Josh Rosen: If Tom Brady ends up with six Super Bowl rings, I want seven

UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen says his goal as an NFL player is to win more than any quarterback has ever won before.

Rosen told ESPN that he wants to go beyond Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who has won five Super Bowls. So if Brady wins one more before he retires, Rosen will want seven in all.

“I want to be great — in everything I do,” Rosen said. “As far as football, I always looked up to Kellen Moore of Boise State. I thought it was the coolest thing that he was the winningest QB of all time. I thought that was a cool word: winningest. So I want to be the winningest QB in NFL history. I want to win the most games and most championships. I’d say six titles, but if Tom Brady gets six, I’ll say seven.”

If Rosen sounds cocky, he says you have to be cocky to succeed in the NFL.

“I’m the best QB in the draft,” Rosen said. “A lot of guys are flashier, but I think I’m the most efficient, monotonously consistent QB in this draft. Rodgers has some flair, but if you watch Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, there’s nothing that’s explosive or Johnny Manziel — like. It’s just quarterbacking.”

Rosen says of his outlook, “I’m supremely confident in my abilities as a quarterback.”

As a Pats fan I don’t have a problem with this at all. He just wants to be the best like everybody entering the league. Remember, Brady told Kraft “I’m the best decision this organization has ever made.” Best of luck Rosen.

He’ll get ripped for it but he didn’t say he would be the winningest QB of all time, he said he wants to be. This isn’t DeShone Kizer saying “No one else can do what I can do. Imagine taking (Tom) Brady’s intellect and Brady’s preparation and putting it on a guy with Cam Newton’s body.” The later was a kid engaging in self delusion, the former is a confident guy saying what he wants to do. As a Pats fan I can recall Kraft saying Brady introduced himself with “I’m Tom Brady. We haven’t met yet, but I’m the best decision this franchise has ever made.”

Well I guess if you looked hard enough you could find them on ebay PAL. Stupidity reins in this guys veins. I would pass on him just for that. Anyone with brains would say, I like to start with getting one first.

So many dumb people making equally dumb comments?? He is confident, so you are jealous. He is arrogant yet you find that troubling? Arrogance dummies is confidence. After reading what he said I now hope we in Buffalo get to draft him. He is a good QB who just might fool the crap out of you dummies.

You don’t win championships by talking about it, you win by putting in the work. If you already think you’re the best quarterback in the draft, you probably don’t think you need to work that hard. Being drafted in the sixth round is the best thing that could have happened to Brady.

Nothing says stealers fan quite like whistling past the graveyard while predicting Brady’s imminent demise. You’ve been doing it for years now, while he has compiled an .833 win % against Pittsburgh. How has his .842 overall win % against the AFCN been working out for you? I mean a lot of guys would feel embarrassed to keep predicting Brady will fall off the planet week after week, year after year as he just keeps on keeping on but not you, no sir.

How dare he be competitive! What a despicable scoundrel! His hopes and dreams should be crushed by now, what gives?

Considering how delusional you are as reflected by your name, you should not be giving advice to anyone until you get your cognitive dissonance checked by a mental-health professional.

Gotta love it. Kids confident in himself and the boards are lighting up calling this kid every word in the book. Go 1-2 stories down on the home page and look at the praise being heaped on a guy who hurled racial slurs repeatedly at a Japanese dolphins trainer and dry humped a volunteer at a golf tournament because he retired.

Sorry, The difference is, we didn’t know Brady said that. Rosen just pulled a Jay Cutler….”My arm is better than Elway’s..”

It’s great to THINK things and believe them, but to announce things that are longshots or not realistic, is another thing entirely.

Mayfield checks off all of the Parcells checklist, and Rosen has demonstrated all the needed ability on the field. Every other guy in the first-round conversation is about potential, which is in our imaginations.

I saw Josh Rosen play in person. I was unimpressed. Granted it was against the mighty Utah Utes defense but still…I think he won’t handle adversity well and will probably retire ringless, early and after a season or two of holding a clipboard.

There we’re QB’s that didn’t win any that were great, there were QB’s that were ordinary and won more than one, so let’s hope your are put into a good team. But if you are going to be one of the greats take a leaf out of Brady’s book and don’t be to greedy when negotiating your second and third contracts.

Had to laugh. If it’s “just quarterbacking,” every QB that walks into the NFL would be good at it and it wouldn’t be the highest-valued position. I’m all for people setting their aims high, but this is the 2nd or 3rd time there’s been a story about this guy saying something that comes off as naive/arrogant. Not sure if it’s the media distorting what he’s saying or if his agent needs to coach him up before he talks to people.

One of the reasons Rodgers is said to have dropped in the draft was his arrogance. Hey, happy Packer fan here if that’s why S.F. the Vikings, and everybody else passed on him until Thompson made a common sense choice to pick the best guy on the board despite having a future Hall of Famer still playing well. If he’s got the work ethic to go with his confidence, the sky’s the limit.

tb12greatest- aren’t these haters hilarious? You can count on them, and that’s always nice to know.

Brady threw for over 500 yards, the Pats defense didn’t even show up, the 2 Pats players who made the game changing plays the year before didn’t even play, Foles played the game of his life and yeah – you beat us.

Josh should be drafted by the Patriots and have an opportunity to learn directly from the GOAT (for now). He clearly has very high confidence and aspires to become the best. However, talking like this is not really the Patriot way. Since Bill Belichick took control 19 odd years ago, New England sights and expectations have been raised to the point that anything less than a Super Bowl ring is considered a failure. Josh Rosen future Patriot with 7 rings – sounds good to me.

Hey Josh, you can’t just run your mouth and get a Super Bowl ring. You have to work for it. I know you’re from the state of entitlement (California) but that won’t help you in the NFL. You’ll be lucky to play three seasons in the NFL before you go home and cry in a corner about how mean they are in the NFL.

Brady has zero rings without cheating so not exactly a high bar to reach for.”

No Id have to agree this poster is right on. Their isn’t a spygate and deflatgate for nothing. Pats have zero credibility unless you live in NE.

If he wants to be the Best, maybe he should have become the “winningest” QB in college history first. If he winds up with the Jets, he’ll have to play until he’s 65 to get halfway to Brady’s record …. if he’s lucky.

If someone hits the Lotto for one million, I want to hit it for two million.
What I just said makes about as much sense as what Rosen said.
Here’s a memo for you, Rosen. Shut up, get your nose in the playbook of whomever drafts you, and realize that you have done nothing in the NFL. You are a zero. In fact you are less than a zero — a minus. Because they’re going to hand you a lot of money before you ever set foot in a stadium and that makes you a minus.
Or maybe I’m confused. Maybe you want to be better than Mike Brady, the father on The Brady Bunch, and have 7 kids instead of his and Mrs. Brady’s 6 kids.

He will need a head coach/GM like Bill, the system like the Patriots, and an owner like Kraft. Those are very long odds no matter how talented he is. But good luck anyways, perhaps Belichick will trade up for you in the draft.

“No Id have to agree this poster is right on. Their isn’t a spygate and deflatgate for nothing. Pats have zero credibility unless you live in NE.”

Spygate was a camera being 30′ out of position for half a game. I know you science and technology challenged people think the zoom lens was invented until 2008 the year after spygate, but it actually existed prior to that and the camera being 30′ farther away would have made no difference.

Deflategate is a disproven scam that Goodell had over 50 documented lies he told about. The only ball the Pats used that game that was more deflated than natural conditions account for was the one the Colts tampered with on the sideline. But I understand, you failed 5th grade science and are poorly educated, so its tough to wrap your mind around such things and easier to buy Goodell’s lies.

I like the guy. The red flag is his concussion history, but another QB from his school in Aikman made it 10 years and 3 rings before they drove him out. At best, that is what I am looking for in Rosen.

Would love for my Jaguars to trade for him, but will root for him almost anywhere.

Scam, lol. Thanks for giving me a good laugh to end the day. Just like spygate wasn’t a scam and the pats weren’t docked a half a million and draft picks. Good One lol. Keep sticking to that story it won’t get you far past New England.

Yes, but shady still lost the superbowl and him and his asterisk superbowls are still looking up the the only team with 6 sb wins, the Steelers. No one cares about regular season win stats but if that floats your boat, good for you.

I absolutely expect someone coming into a pro league to have this attitude about their potential. I next expect them to be humble and admit they have a lot to learn and then I expect them to work their ass off and try to prove their worth.

I could have sworn they lost the SB to the Eagles(who I tip my cap to for making fewer mistakes than the Pats) but I guess for a bitter troll that was the most important win of the stealers year. Refresh my memory on a couple of things; Your boys got a couple of those SB wins in this century right? And what was the final score of this year’s Pats/stealers AFCCG you and your team were all geared up to play? You cared enough about regular season win stats to predict the Pats would lose just about every week but if you just want to go with only playoff #’s that’s fine by me. I don’t think it helps your cause much, Brady’s playoff win % against the Pittsburgh Ladies Auxiliary is 1.000, good for me indeed.
Sweet dreams cupcake.

You really want to talk about how much the Pats own the Steelers in the post season too? Last time I checked the steelers dynasty ended when disco was still king.

Nope, out in the real World, out of Chowdaville where spy cameras, bugged locker rooms, deflated football’s Officials throwing games for The Chowdaheads are universally recognized as cheating across every Sport and every fanbase.

Which stealer qb has 5 rings on one team? Any stealer player? Coach? waterboy? I’ll wait. NE owns pitsburg on every level that doesn’t include stats drawn inside of caves.

Their (sic) isn’t a spygate and deflatgate for nothing.
====================

Right. Both of those situations exist because jealous owners and a spineless commissioner wanted to hobble the Patriots and give other teams a chance to get to the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. The Jets were caught filming signals before and after “spy”gate. The Broncos were filming other team’s practices. The Jets were caught tampering with footballs and the Steelers were caught with deflated footballs. The total penalty for all of those transgressions, which the league deemed the most serious rules violations in sports history, was a $50k fine for one team.

This.

============================================

What system would that be? The one that returned Belichick an 18-19 record without Brady starting, with 33 of those 37 games started by a QB who went to at least 1 Pro Bowl?

But agreed, Rosen would need a great coach to reach that height. Just like Belichick needed Brady to reach his.

**********************

Absolutely love the irony of this post coming from this username. Simply priceless.

Also, i’m curious how one can win 7 SB’s going to a team (Cleveland) that has won 1 game in the last 2 years. Does Cleveland get an auto bye directly to the SB if they draft this guy, because that’s the only way he has a chance of winning that many playing for the Factory of Sadness.

BWAHAHAHA the Patriots have been given many gifts from the officials and replay booth the entire season and you have the balls to say another team has special treatment? Oh the irony.

===================================================

BWAHAHAHA……. Pats almost had the Jags game stolen from them with the Dion Lewis play who clearly, by rule, was down by contact . If Doug Baldwin can secure a ball to his leg and David Tyree can secure one to his helmet, Lewis can secure a ball to his hip. Which he did. Its not disputable.

Also Pats deserved one more play in SB after Hogan was interfered with before the ball was delivered in the end zone. He got completely cleaned out with the defender clearly not playing the ball and Brady still in the pocket. Calls go for and against teams all the time, its part of the game. Pats didn’t get any “preferential treatment” last year. The facts do not back you up.
